Not my fave by him but still a solid book!! I still have to read two of his but he’s a great author and I always get excited to see when he has a new release:)

I really enjoyed this book! I was constantly getting surprised and unsure of who to trust. I love Riley Sager books and look forward to reading them each summer.

This was a good read, not my favorite book by Sager but it was still fun. It kept me on the edge of my seat, which is what I was hoping for!

I usually really enjoy Riley Sager's novels but this one wasn't it for me. The main character was painfully written and very slow development in terms of plot. All of the action was in the second half of the book which made for a difficult time getting into the book.

Omg this was so freaking good! I read it in a single day and could not put it down. This one is for sure my favorite Riley Sager book yet! Such amazing 90s nostalgia. It felt like I was home on a Friday night in high school watching the perfect thriller movie. I did not see that last twist coming at all!

Survive the Night was a cinematic thrill ride of a book and just when you think you figured out where it was going....it took you in a totally different direction. I loved every minute of it! It's best to go in blind before reading this book and I don't want to give too much away in the review so it is best to just sit back and enjoy the ride that Sager always provides.

This is only the second book I have read by the author and so far, this one is my favorite of the two, so I hope this means that his writing just gets better and better with each new book. I absolutely loved how it ended, since to me this whole book as I read each page, it played in my mind like an action-packed suspense thriller. I loved all the twists and turns, that were further interrupted with Charlie’s mini movies that kept me wondering what was actually real and what was just in her mind. I highly recommend this book to all readers. It is a super-fast paced read that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last.

Riley Sager is a classic. I always know when I pick up one of these books that I am going to dive in and not stop reading until I am done. Another winner!

I started to read this and it didn't grab my attention within the first 50 pages. I stopped reading at that point. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Lackluster execution of a bizarre premise. I just never bought that she would actually get in the car with a stranger given what is happening in her world! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the e-galley.

WOW! this book was so great! I loved it. I read it in one sitting, I couldn't read it fast enough!!! my first book my riley sager, and not my last!

Charlie wants to leave college and go home. She hasn’t been able to focus since her dorm mate was murdered and she just needs to get away. Her boyfriend Robbie wants her to return for spring semester but he understands that she needs a change of perspective. He’s busy and can’t change his schedule to take her home so she gets a ride from Josh, someone offering a ride on the rider board. They head off for the six hour drive and Charlie can’t help but think of all the ways she’s just put herself in danger by riding with a stranger. Josh is heading to Ohio, the same direction as Charlie. At first, it’s an uncomfortable silence and then they play twenty questions and Charlie discovers something she wishes she hadn’t. Now she’s sure she’s in danger. Most of the story is from Charlie’s point of view but there are small snippets from a few other characters. I was riveted as soon as I started reading but then there was a lull when the suspense slowed down. Soon the intensity built back up. This book has unexpected turns and developments and I enjoyed reading it! 4 stars!

This is the first Riley Sager novel that genuinely let me down.
The plot seemed exciting and promising, but the execution left a lot to be desired. There was a lot of unrealistic scenes that unfolded and a lot of deus ex machina.
I will read the next Sager because one dud out of five or six gems is a great track record. If you are looking to start with Riley Sager, don't start with this one.

Another gripping Riley Sager thriller! While the heroine’s choices can be a bit frustrating, Sager successfully builds the suspense and includes several surprising twists. The ending wasn’t my favorite, so I dropped it one star, but I would still recommend it to thriller fans!

I thoroughly enjoyed this read! I especially liked the unique and creative way Riley wrote the book, which made the story even more vivid/engaging and really brought together the twist at the end. Excellent job!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! I ended up buying two copies for my high school library. If you like Riley’s novels you know what you are getting into. This is a wonderful gateway book from YA to adult fiction, perfect for juniors and seniors who want to step out of the YA box. My students loved it especially with all the throwaway 90s things.

Well… I kept reading it so that’s a plus! The ending annoyed the heck out of me… a form of Stockholm syndrome I guess. I did really enjoy the twist midway though. That’s been my issues with most of sagers books. Great set up- doesn’t stick the landing.

Let me preface this by saying I’ve only read Home Before Dark before picking this up (btw, thank you NetGalley for the copy!). So I already had low expectations going into this.

But you know what? I think this was the right book at the right time type of situation. I loved how the main character just made so many bad decisions, I loved the drama…it was just such a fun quick read. I know not everyone will love it, but if you’re looking for something that’s kind of like watching a really bad B movie (entirely addicting), then pick this up ASAP!

I always love Riley Sager's books and this one did not disappoint! I loved the retro cat and mouse perspective, with a good unreliable narrator plot. I didn't figure out the plot twist before the reveal and really happy with the ending.

Riley Sager is one of my instant buy authors. This one was no exception to my love of Sager's books. Filled with nostalgia and a twist at every bend in the road, this book pays it's respects to the old Hollywood movies we know and love.
